Keen for a relaxed ride at the end of this week, both Friday and Sunday look to be good weather and I'm keen to do whichever day others wanna give me company on.

I'm thinking either Coromandel or up north to Mangawhai or thereabouts.

Hit up the poll and we'll go from there! Please only vote if you are actually keen for the ride.

:scooter:

UPDATE:

Meeting 9am at Autobahn on Sunday, leaving at 9:30am, heading around the Coro!

I hope you are much calmer on the bike...

I'm keen for Mangawhai on Sunday - the reason Rob put it as in option. Will possibly have a pillion so will be 'sedate' - can stop at Mangawhai for lunch or go through to Waipu for an icecream/pie on the Beach.

Sweet. Coro has more twisties than anywhere and is worth the 1.25 hours to get to them!

No luck on the exhaust gaskets and I don't really want to do an entire coro while baking my rear shock in exhaust fumes. Could still be a go for sunday though...

Change of plans, Kyle can't make tomorrow soooo I'm thinking:

Friday - Short ride to Mangawhai via SH16 just for fun time's sake, wanna get out on the roads! Could meet up at like 10am for this.

Sunday - CORO! If people are up for it??!! Weather meant to be SUNSHINE :sunny:

How long is the Mangawhai ride?

About an hour each way, you can usually do it on one tank of gas. I'd allow 3.5hrs to if you're making plans.

I've got exhaust sealant that could do the trick in the mean time - applied to the outside it dries hard, but you can then soak it in water/scrub it off when you put the proper seals in.

I didn't realise it was that easy to get off. Was wanting to avoid anything goo-based because it would only be for a few days and I didn't want the hassle of removing it, but that sounds like some useful stuff to have around...

Hi, I got 2 vesrah exhaust gaskets to be fitted between the exhaust headers and the engine (model number VE-1008). Came in a pack of 10 and I have used 8 on two of my CBR Fireblades. If you have measurements and this is what you are after I can give it to you diameter is approximately 42.5-43mm. PM me if you want it.

p.s: here some part numbers (does look like honda part numbers) for fitment 18291-236-000 or 18212-634-000

Thanks for the offer! I'm not sure what diameter the gaskets are but when I was trying to get them at KTL, something was muttered about there being no equivalent parts available. I'll take a look before I head off tomorrow morning and let you know though.

Cheers.

No worries. I work at AUT so if you want them you can pick it up from there tomorrow or you can just grab it off me to experiment cos it aint useful to me since I only ride 4 cylinder bikes. Diameter is between 42 to 43 mm. Cannot really see.

Well, doesn't look like I'll be joining you guys unfortunately. Didn't managed to get the exhaust gooped up, comedy of errors and lack of tools that has resulted in me losing a nut, possibly into the rear shock spring. Will deal with that tomorrow when I have some light.
